a) A large hotel in Miami has 900 rooms (all rooms are equivalent). During Christmas, the hotel is usually fully booked. However

, as it is possible for a customer to cancel their reservation, the hotel overbooks its rooms. 1000 people were given assurance of a room. Let us assume that each customer cancels their reservation with a probability of 0.1. If the total number of customers who still keep their booking is more than 900, the hotel has to unfortunately send some customers to other accommodation. What is the probability that this happens, as per the Central Limit Theorem

Answer:

14.69% probability that this happens

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

1000 people were given assurance of a room.

This means that n = 1000

Let us assume that each customer cancels their reservation with a probability of 0.1.

So 0.9 probability that they still keep their booking, which means that p = 0.9

Probability more than 900 still keeps their booking:

n = 1000, p = 0.9

So

\mu = 0.9, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.9*0.1}{1000}} = 0.0095

901/1000 = 0.91

So this is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.91.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{0.91 - 0.9}{0.0095}

Z = 1.05

Z = 1.05 has a pvalue of 0.8531

1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469

14.69% probability that this happens

A cheetah's speed was timed over a set distance. The cheetah was clocked running 60 miles per hour. Which equation is the relati
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

D. y=70x

Step-by-step explanation:

The cheetah was clocked running 70 miles per hour.

i.e. in 1 hour cheetah covered 70 miles

in 2 hours cheetah covered 140 miles

in 3 hours cheetah covered 210 miles

in general, in n hour cheetah covered 70n miles

If y denote the distance covered

and x denotes the time cheetah runs

Then, y=70x

Hence, the equation which shows the relationship between the distance, y, and time, x, the cheetah runs is:

D  y=70x

8 freshmen, 9 sophomores, 9 juniors, and 7 seniors are eligible to be on a committee.
loris [4]

Answer: 11113200

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that , the number of combination of choosing r things from n things is given by :-

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Then , the number of ways to choose a dancing committee if it is to consist of 4 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 3 seniors :-

Then , the number of ways to choose a dancing committee if it is to consist of 4 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 3 seniors :-

Then , the number of ways to choose a dancing committee if it is to consist of 4 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 3 seniors :-

^8C_4\times ^9C_5\times^9C_2\times^7C_3

=\dfrac{8!}{(8-4)!4!}\times\dfrac{9!}{(9-5)!5!}\times\dfrac{9!}{(9-2)!2!}\times\dfrac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}\\\\ =\dfrac{8\times7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!4!}\times\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6\times5!}{4!5!}\times\dfrac{9\times8\times7!}{7!2!}\times\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{3!4!}\\\\=11113200

∴ The number of ways to choose a dancing committee if it is to consist of 4 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 3 seniors = 11113200
